What are neutral colors? 4 color palette tips for stunning interior design
Here's how you should decorate with neutrals and why they're the most versatile hues

Neutral colors may be the base of many color palettes and interior designs, but what are they, really? How can we decorate our spaces with these versatile hues? We'll dive into some of the best color palette tips to help you tackle neutrals like a pro and create a gorgeous interior design, while answering the question: What are neutral colors?
What are neutral colors?

Neutral colors are muted tones with minimal saturation. They are typically soft with a low vibrancy, making them ideal for the base of color palettes. Neutral colors can vary in shade and tint, which allows them to be versatile in any home design. These hues aren’t listed on the color wheel, as they are variations of white, black, and brown. Some neutrals are a blend of these colors, such as beige and gray, which create greige.
Basic neutrals
There are a few basic neutrals that can be turned into other neutrals. Black, white, gray, and brown can be mixed with any other color to create any neutral a person desires. For example, to make taupe, you would combine all the primary colors to make brown and then mix in white to lighten the tone, then add hints of red.
Warm vs. cool neutrals
Adding red or blue to neutrals can make them warm or cool. Warm neutrals will have reddish undertones or more prominent brown hues, while cool neutrals will have blue undertones and lean toward gray hues. Boosting a neutral’s saturation can also increase the warmth, depending on the tone of neutral you’re using.
